A proposal of bioinspired motor-system cognitive architecture focused on feed-forward-control movements

The objective of this article is to present a conceptual motor-system cognitive architecture inspired in the human nervous system, and a cognitive architecture focused on the voluntary movement controlled by feed-forward. The article first focuses on describing the brain cortex areas that make up the motor system, presenting the supplementary motor area (SMA), premotor cortex and primary cortex, the tasks that these cortices do, and how they work together. Then, a cognitive architecture based on the information presented is shown. The areas in a computational level (functions, and algorithms used) are then described. Finally, a case study is presented, where the cognitive architecture proposed is used to execute a voluntary-movement-by-feed-forward-control task. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Automated summary

This article presents a conceptual motor-system cognitive architecture inspired by the human nervous system, and a cognitive architecture focused on voluntary movement controlled by feed-forward. It describes the brain cortex areas that make up the motor system, the tasks they do, and how they work together, followed by a cognitive architecture based on this information. A case study using the proposed cognitive architecture to execute a voluntary-movement-by-feed-forward-control task is also presented.
